One tail-happy car
we had a fun event this weekend. organizers took a course, broke it into sections and allowed multiple timed runs on each section. Afterwards, two "normal" runs across the whole course, compare to the best times on the sections. A good opportunity for concentrated practice of elements: slalom, turnaround, Chicago box, etc.
Participant count low 30s for a full day, so plenty of action. I'm classed in the slowest class but managed to top a few folks in faster cars.
I took advantage of our relaxed stock rules and put 15mm spacers up front and also set front toe to 1/8" out. Set tire pressure to 50f, 35r. This really REALLY loosened up the rear and made it a hand-ful at first but as the day went on it the above was a clear improvement: better slip and rotation in slaloms, better grip in the turnaround and in high speed obstacles (our Chicago box was placed after the highest speed section).
